Last night we met some friends at a bar serving great food , Dirty Ginger. It is situated in the trendy , reclaimed industrial area of Athens , Gazi.
This area is buzzing with great restaurants , bars and coffee bars and full of young people.
We ate simply tasty Greek dishes all served with a modern twist.
My husband raved about the kokoretsi. A traditional dish of offal encased by intestines. It was so dainty and delicate looking rather like a boudin blanc. I stuck with a succulent chicken kebab, marinated in a harissa dressing with a wonderful side salad of tabouleh.
The executive chef is a very dynamic lady, Effie Giallousi, who not only runs this busy restaurant , but is the author of several popular cookery books.
To drink ,we had the new vintage (2010) Biblia Chora White a wonderful blend of Sauvignon Blanc and my favourite Assyrtiko, followed by a Xynomavro made by Kir Yianni. They both hit the spot perfectly. All in all a great evening.
